Datalex’s manufacturing system links raw material batches through production to finished goods lots, with forward and backward traceability and stock valuation that reflects current FX-driven cost — not the price you paid months ago.
• Manufacturers & Processors
• Industrial Producers With Multi-Stage Production
• Businesses Holding Raw Materials, WIP & Finished Goods
• Regulated Manufacturers (NAFDAC/SON)
Up to 70% of industrial raw materials, active ingredients, and packaging used by Nigerian manufacturers are imported, and currency fluctuations can double the naira cost of a shipment between order placement and port arrival. Major Nigerian manufacturers collectively held over ₦1.8 trillion in unsold goods and raw materials in a recent reporting period, partly as a hedge against inflation and FX volatility — which means raw material inventory is a financial position, not just a production input. On top of that, regulators including NAFDAC and SON expect manufacturers to trace a finished lot back to the exact raw material batch responsible for a defect — something fragmented Excel workbooks and paper job cards can't do quickly when an audit or recall demands it.
Raw Material to Finished Goods Batch Linking — Raw material batches tracked from receipt through to the specific production job or finished goods lot they were used in.
Forward & Backward Traceability — Trace a finished lot forward to every customer or distributor it shipped to, or trace a defect backward to the exact raw material batch and supplier responsible.
Real-Time FX-Aware Stock Valuation — Raw material and finished goods value reflects current cost data, not a figure frozen at original purchase price.
Multi-Warehouse Tracking — Separate visibility into raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods, across different storage locations.
Business Dashboard — Production status, stock valuation, and margin visibility in one view.
Generic ERP systems built for stable-currency markets don’t treat FX exposure as a first-class inventory concern, and most weren’t built with NAFDAC/SON-style batch traceability in mind.
Datalex builds full-chain batch linking and FX-aware valuation in as the default, not a customization project.
